Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of natural gas sampling technology, and in particular to a liquefied natural gas sampling and collection device. Background Technology

[0002] Liquefied natural gas (LNG), whose main component is methane, is widely recognized as the cleanest fossil fuel on Earth. It is colorless, odorless, non-toxic, and non-corrosive. Its volume is approximately 1 / 625th that of the same amount of gaseous natural gas, and its mass is only about 45% that of the same volume of water. The manufacturing process involves purifying natural gas produced from gas fields, followed by a series of cryogenic liquefaction processes, and then transporting it using LNG ships. LNG combustion produces very little air pollution and releases a large amount of heat, making it a relatively advanced energy source. Sampling equipment is required when sampling LNG.

[0003] Most current liquefied natural gas (LNG) sampling devices use a syringe suction method. The piston of the syringe can be accidentally pushed, leading to natural gas leakage. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a liquefied natural gas sampling and collection device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a liquefied natural gas sampling and collection device, comprising a collection syringe, a piston rod, a piston, a sampling nozzle, an elastic rubber sheet, a screw, and a limiting rod. The bottom end of the collection syringe is provided with a sampling nozzle, which communicates with the collection syringe. Inside the collection syringe is a piston that slides along its length. At the top of the piston is a piston rod fixedly connected to it. The piston rod and the collection syringe are slidably connected, with its top extending to the outer side of the top of the collection syringe. An elastic rubber sheet is fixedly installed inside the sampling nozzle. A liquid inlet hole is opened at the center of the elastic rubber sheet. The liquid inlet hole has a frustum-shaped structure, wider at the bottom and narrower at the top. One side of the collection syringe has an installation port, and a screw is provided at the installation port. The inner end of the screw is provided with a limiting rod, which is coaxial with and fixedly connected to the screw. The limiting rod is inserted into the interior of the collection syringe. A limiting insertion port is opened on the outer wall of one side of the piston rod, and several limiting insertion ports are evenly spaced along the length of the piston rod.

[0006] Preferably, the limiting rod and the limiting socket are adapted to be plugged in.

[0007] Preferably, a sealing ring is fixedly installed at the top of the collecting syringe, and the sealing ring and the piston rod are adapted to seal.

[0008] Preferably, the outer wall of the collecting syringe is provided with an observation window, and the observation window is provided with a liquid level scale.

[0009] Preferably, a flexible rubber sleeve is fitted and fixedly installed at the top end of the piston rod.

[0010] Preferably, the screw and the mounting port are threaded together.

[0011] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] In this invention, by pulling the piston rod, the piston slides and generates negative pressure, which draws natural gas liquid into the inlet of the sampling nozzle, causing the inlet to expand. After the piston rod is stopped from being pulled, the inlet shrinks under the elastic force of the elastic rubber sheet, preventing liquid from flowing out from there. By rotating the screw, the limiting rod is inserted into the limiting socket on the side of the piston rod, thus limiting the piston rod and preventing accidental contact.
